FirePHP: PHP version of firebug

 

The Firefox plug-in named FirePHP found on friendfeed is an extension based on Firebug, it can be used to conveniently output php debugging information on the Firebug console without affecting the normal operation of the php program. In fact, it's not a short time for this stuff to come out, but I haven't tried it before. Now it's quite interesting to play it for a while. As shown in the following figure:

 

FirePHP consists of two parts:

Firefox extension

Php Library

The php debugging information of FirePHP is identified by adding an X-FirePHP-Data information string in the http header and will not be directly output to the page, thus avoiding the impact on the normal php output. The following types of debugging information can be output:

Normal debugging string, including LOG, INFO, WARN, and ERROR types

Array

Object

Exception

SQL return data

Http header

If you are using firefox 3 like me, click here to download and install FirePHP 0.1.0.1

This version is only applicable to php5, and adds a simplified version of self-reliance by netizens. However, it is much weaker in terms of functionality and uses js to output debugging information, which is not practical.
